Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon

Four Roses Small Batch is a step up from the classic Four Roses Bourbon, showcasing the variety of mashbills that the distillers have to work within Lawrenceburg - and their talents at making them sing together. Ten bourbon recipes are produced by Four Roses, and four of them are blended to create this approachable but flavoursome expression. Great value-for-money stuff, this.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

The nose is quite subtle and smooth, there are notes of winter spice and buttered granary toast with thick honey. There are hints of cut flowers and dry hay.

Palate

The palate is much fuller with a lovely balance. There are notes of manuka honey, winter spice, toasty oak, a little crème anglaise and thick fruit.

Finish

The finish is of good length with a resurgence from the crème anglaise.

My daily go to

I don't think there's a better bourbon at this price range.

Excellent Bourbon

The small batch is significantly better than the regular. It's one of the best bourbon I've ever tried.

Master of Malt Customer Feb 26, 2016

Great value for money

To complete a trilogy of Four Roses after having tried the level entry and single barrel versions and been mildly impressed but this is the pick of the three. Some well balanced spice, dark sweet fruit and buttery, juicy oak. Would love to know where Mr expensive can get this for under £20?? The Whisky Flaneur

Meh

I was really surprised by this, but not pleasantly. I've bought a lot of bourbons high and low priced and this was the only bottle I have ever got bored of and couldn't wait to move on from. It does have a unique taste and that's obviously going to be a subjective thing, but if you like your bourbon rich and full of caramel flavours you're maybe better of spending your dollars/pounds/euros/krugerrands elsewhere.

Complex flavors with spice and fruit

This is a very smooth likable bourbon. It has a high rye content so there's a lot of spice both in the nose and on the palate. While Four Roses Yellow Label is cloyingly sweet, almost like a liqueur, the Small Batch strikes a more appealing balance between sweet elements and spicy flavors and wood influence. Lots of fruit on the nose, especially cherries, along with a hint of toffee and vanilla, there is a pleasing mixture of spice (cinnamon, allspice, a dash of cloves) and fruit on the palate. The finish features a hint of oak and prominent vanilla. At 45% ABV you may be tempted to add some water. Doing so will bring the sweetness and vanilla elements forward, and if that's what you enjoy, I say go for it. The water dulls the rye and oak influences to a degree. Without water I find this bourbon has just the right balance of sweet fruits and musty wood. It's not as oaky as Woodford Reserve, Elijah Craig, or Wild Turkey 101, but neither is it as candylike as Four Roses Yellow. Found it for $30US in Illinois and love all the complexity.
